When to Visit India

India has such a wide range of climatic factors that it’s impossible to pin down the best time to visit weather-wise with any certainty. Most of India has three seasons:
- Cool Season - October to February.
- Hot season - march to June.
- Rainy / Monsoon - monsoons start from mid June to September.
October to March tend to be the most pleasant months for most of the parts of the country. The mountainous areas in North India usualy have snowfall between December and March. Kashmir and the mountainous regions of Himachal Pradesh are at their most accessible between May and September.
The best time to visit Sikkim and the areas of north-eastern India is March and August. The best time to visit deserts of Rajasthan and the north-western Indian Himalayan region is during the monsoon.
